How to create a trie in Python

Question

I\'m interested in tries and DAWGs (direct acyclic word graph) and I\'ve been reading a lot about them but I don\'t understand what should the output trie or DAWG file look

Answer 1

Python Class for Trie

Trie Data Structure can be used to store data in O(L) where L is the length of the string so for inserting N strings time complexity would be O(NL) the string can be searched in O(L) only same goes for deletion.

Can be clone from https://github.com/Parikshit22/pytrie.git

class Node:
    def __init__(self):
        self.children = [None]*26
        self.isend = False
        
class trie:
    def __init__(self,):
        self.__root = Node()
        
    def __len__(self,):
        return len(self.search_byprefix(''))
    
    def __str__(self):
        ll =  self.search_byprefix('')
        string = ''
        for i in ll:
            string+=i
            string+='\n'
        return string
        
    def chartoint(self,character):
        return ord(character)-ord('a')
    
    def remove(self,string):
        ptr = self.__root
        length = len(string)
        for idx in range(length):
            i = self.chartoint(string[idx])
            if ptr.children[i] is not None:
                ptr = ptr.children[i]
            else:
                raise ValueError("Keyword doesn't exist in trie")
        if ptr.isend is not True:
            raise ValueError("Keyword doesn't exist in trie")
        ptr.isend = False
        return
    
    def insert(self,string):

        length = len(string)
        for idx in range(length):

        if ptr.isend is not True:
            return False
        return True
    
    def __getall(self,ptr,key,key_list):

            key_list.append(key)
            return

                self.__getall(ptr.children[i],key+chr(ord('a')+i),key_list)
        
    def search_byprefix(self,key):
